album preview: Ty Segall Band - Slaughterhouse


A quick rundown to explain all the Ty Segall releases coming this year: He already recorded and released an album at the end of April with White Fence, called Hair. On June 26th he'll be releasing an album called Slaughterhouse with his touring band under the moniker Ty Segall Band. And later this year he'll be releasing a regular ol' solo Ty Segall album.

The Ty Segall Band consists of Ty Segall (vocals, guitar), Mikal Cronin (bass), Charlie Moothart (guitar), and Emily Rose Epstein (drums). He's been playing three Slaughterhouse tracks on his recent run of shows: "Wave Goodbye," "I Bought My Eyes," and "Oh Mary" (the latter of which was previously released on a Ty Segall solo album). Listen to those songs below.





*Not the Slaughterhouse version*


Slaughterhouse:
01 Death
02 I Bought My Eyes
03 Slaughterhouse
04 The Tongue
05 Tell Me What's Inside Your Heart
06 Wave Goodbye
07 Muscle Man
08 That's the Bag I'm In
09 Diddy Wah Diddy
10 Oh Mary
11 Fuzz War

Slaughterhouse is out June 26th on my favorite record label, In The Red. It comes on two clear 10" records in a double gatefold with the wicked cover art above, if you get it early.

album stream: Liars - WIXIW


If you would have told me a month ago that the new Liars album would be mostly electronic and sound a bit like Radiohead, I would have never believed you. But here we are. Stream the album over at NPR. It's out June 5th on Mute.

Some good summer jams.

album stream: Marty Marquis - Switched-On Goodbye Bread


In the spirit of Wendy Carlos' all synthesizer interpretation of Johann Sebastian Bach,Switched-On Bach, Blitzen Trapper's Marty Marquis has done the same thing with Ty Segall's Goodbye Bread. Why? Because listening to non-synthesizer music performed on synthesizers is a fun novelty, I guess.

album stream: El-P - Cancer 4 Cure


Stream Cancer 4 Cure over at Rolling Stone. Highly recommended.
